Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., joked about how somebody saving a drowning President Trump would be a "catastrophe" at the start of an event in Sunshine, Fla., on Sunday.
In a video reported by the Daily Caller, Hastings said he first learned of the joke from Ari Silver, whose father is former Florida state legislator and rabbi Barry Silver.
“Do you know the difference between a crisis and a catastrophe?” Hastings said, retelling the joke.
"A crisis is if Donald Trump falls into the Potomac River and can’t swim,” Hastings said. A "catastrophe," he added, "is anybody saves his ass.'”
Cheers and laughter ensued in the audience.

Wasn’t Hastings impeached and convicted as a judge?
Ah, yes.
Corrupt judge and corrupt Rep. Alcee Hastings, DEMOCRAT-Fla.
They can’t hide who and what they are. Human life is measured by how it serves their political goals.
The Secret Service should question him.
Yes, he’s a crook; even John Conyers voted for his impeachment.
Yes. Impeached unethical ex-judge is a good fit for the democrats.
On September 16, 2001 on a BET News talk show days after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Hastings said that he didn’t trust President Bush and wanted to repeal the 2001 Bush tax cuts.

Nothing more than human debris babbling out of its hind quarters.
Bingo! Rats have no shame and no memory of their shameful past.
Hastings wouldn’t care if he could remember. Sadly Dem voters don’t care either.
They are nothing but a bunch of sickos.
I can somewhat see his first point, but probably for different reasons than his. As for the second part, he is simply an ignoramus appealing to his ignorant constituents.
Bingo again!!! Your post is a sad two sentence commentary on the state of RAT politics.
Sadly, I don’t think America would ever unite in a 9/11-style attack/crisis like America did under Bush.
The left hates Trump with a burning and bitter passion.
God help us
Dontcha love the “high ground?”
This corrupt POS give new meaning to the word “Chutzpah”.
I prefer to rearrange its’ spelling regarding Hastings and come up with “ChutzPutz”.
Why isn’t this bag of crime in jail instead of in Congress? Oh, he’s a Democrat, he’s black, he’s a crook, and he’s a hatemonger. The perfect candidate for a Florida Democrat, just like his white counterpart Alan “I’m Insane but Don’t hold that against me” Grayson.
Florida: I hope all the old NY liberals die off now so that you might be able to regain your political sanity and integrity.
Great lines. I’m going to enjoy stealing them from you to impress people. Nah, I’ll give you credit.
